I used to be a regular at Landmark years ago, before I moved to a different city, but hadn't been back in over a decade. I stopped by to grab takeout one Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised to find the food was still just as good as I remembered! I placed an online order for 2 scrambled eggs with grits and livermush, and an order of Challah French Toast. The order was ready as soon as I got there but luckily, I checked my order before I drove off and noticed they left out my grits. I went back in to let them know, they apologized and told me it would be a few minutes. Even though I was very ready to eat, the young woman and man who helped me were so kind, I wasn't too bothered by having to wait. The restaurant looked pretty much the same as I remembered but I had forgotten about the huge glass case of desserts! I wanted to get a slice of something so bad, but I restrained lol. Once I finally did eat, everything was SO delicious! I cannot wait to go back. Can't go wrong with most items on the menu, just make sure you double check your order if you do take out! read more

My family likes to dine a bit later in the evening and we love that there's a great place for us to dine that's not bar food, has a cozy atmosphere and consistently delicious food. And... Landmark is open until midnight!! Sometimes you wonder with a diner... with so many dishes to available, how can the food really taste that fresh and homemade? Gotta say... Every dish we've gotten has actually been so fresh and the portions are very generous. You cannot beat it for the price. (How do they do it?!) Also, whomever works in the kitchen - you can tell they really take pride in their job because we watched several plates come out and all of them were done with such care - all so beautifully plated. My chicken parm was a comfort food dream come true; on point and all I hoped for... Tender, juicy chicken, not sure if the sauce was made-from-scratch, but it could pass for it. (I don't know what they use but it's really good.) And they not only did not skimp on the cheese, the whole chicken breast was covered with it - again they are so generous. (That's one thing I'm always secretly craving when I order chicken parm anywhere - more cheese!) The portion was so big, I'll have plenty for lunch tomorrow. An unexpected surprise: Their roasted broccoli with garlic. Say what?? Yep! It is so good. I don't even really like broccoli. Roasted Brussels and fresh green beans roasted are my jam. But these? Look out! They are actually a bit addictive. Our server, Lindsay, suggested them because they've become a customer favorite lately, and I thought well why not, they could be good... so glad I tried them. Also, the staff at Landmark are so friendly! The hostesses make us feel immediately so welcome. (Pro tip: Ask to sit in Lindsay's section. She goes over and above and treats you like family. She also makes the BEST Arnold Palmers!) If you do stop by, you'd be amiss not to grab a dessert to-go. We especially love their Tuxedo Mousse Cake and their chocolate cake is my favorite in town. I am a brownie lover and really appreciate that they do their brownies right. I LOVE walnuts in mine and Landmark's brownies are deliciously fudgy with little chocolate chunks and pieces of walnut. (I would've included a photo, but my brownie somehow disappeared.) We live across town now, but we still make the drive because it's worth it! Love Landmark! read more

My family moved to Charlotte in 1979, and after recently moving back to the area, I decided to stop by Landmark Diner for a late lunch. I'm so glad I did! Even though I now live on another side of town, it's absolutely worth the drive. I ordered the Reuben with a small Karpen Island Salad. The salad was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and the Reuben was one of the best I've had in a long time. I'm a bit of a Reuben enthusiast and have enjoyed them at delis and diners in places like Philadelphia and New York, and Landmark's was outstanding--perfectly grilled, incredibly flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot. The service was just as memorable as the food. My server was warm and attentive, the host was welcoming, and the manager was gracious enough to let me substitute a small Karpen Island Salad instead of the full-size portion. I'm so glad I took the time to revisit Landmark after all these years. The food is every bit as delicious as I remembered, and I look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Landmark Diner Restaurant - Reuben Sandwich - Diners Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Upon returning to this restaurant, there was no greeting at the door. Upon seating it took forever to get service. Throughout the meal, service was nonexistent. Drinks were not filled. Evidently everything is extra so the meal cost much more than expected. Management was nonexistent on the floor. What a disappointment for my return visit. I won't be returning. This restaurant lacks training and consistency from day to day. Overall the restaurant's average between my two visits is 3.0, which is consistent with their average overall. read more

With new ownership the portions have got smaller and the prices got higher. Won't be returning.

Stopped here because it's a DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here. We stopped for breakfast because it was open early. I had corned beef hash and bacon. Bf had a spinach and feta omelette with home fries and a biscuit. He's a chef and very picky about eating breakfast out but was very satisfied with this one but he did add mushrooms to the omelette. The corned beef hash was cooked wonderfully. Bacon was ok, not candied bacon but it wasn't the overcooked wrinkly kind either so somewhere in the middle bacon lol. Service was average. The aura is a diner atmosphere. read more

The last time I was here was probably in 1982 or 83. I lived off Shamrock and I was a regular here, especially for breakfast. Back then, it was THE hotspot for breakfast and late night food. I was in the area and decided to drop in for breakfast. It's changed a lot. It's still good but not quite the level it was in the 80's that I remember. I wanted the salmon omelette but my waitress said they were out of it so I was disappointed but settled for the liver mush with over easy eggs, grits and toast with coffee. The liver mush gave me indigestion. Everything else was good and the coffee was especially good. My waitress was real nice, she was all: honey and darlin this and that but she was slow. Especially on the coffee refills. I had to ask for a spoon to stir my coffee. read more

Great Hospitality and wonderful service. Nice ambiance. Clean and well kept. Food was great. Great lunch specials. read more

Server was very nice. She took our drink order almost as soon as we sat down. The restraunt is very casual. There is a picture of Guy from triple D on the wall. They serve breakfast all day long. This was a breakfast night. The food came quickly. The French toast was thick. It was at least an inch thick. The eggs were loaded with ham and vegetables. If you want a challenge, try to get out of the restraunt without dessert. All of their desserts are made in house. Some of the cakes are 6 inches high. This is a must return restraunt. read more

This is a diner located off of Central Avenue. It's a staple for Charlotte as it is one of the oldest restaurants here. The prices are reasonable in the staff are friendly. The decor gives you a nice diner feel they haven't really updated the decor since they probably opened. There's plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. I decided to go with the French toast, which was okay. They have a wide variety of food on the menu. Hope you enjoy.. read more

We rarely get to this side of Charlotte, but when we do, a trip to the Landmark is a must! We arrived at 3:45 and ordered off of the lunch menu. I chose the turkey with mashed potatoes and green beans. My husband ordered the cheeseburger and we shared a bowl of French onion soup. Everything arrived quickly and was delicious. The portions are huge and enough for us to share with our 6 year old. My husband is a picky burger fan and he loved the burger. Service was excellent. We will be back! read more

GOOD PLAIN SIMPLE BUT DID I SAY GOOD FOOD! It's a diner folks and it lives up to its name superbly! HUGE portions and very tasty! Our waitress was delightful- answered our many questions, took good care with our special requests (like gravy on the side) checked on us often and gave all sorts of suggestions for zert!! The dessert choices are nearly endless and get this ALL made in house! Woohoo! They say (I opted out of dessert on todays visit) that the chocolate cake is to die for but there was pineapple coconut cake, cheesecake, baklava, apple or cherry pie and so on and so on! It's a fairly sizable place and they offer BREAKFAST all day long. Next time we're going for breakfast If you like good food fairly priced and casual dining this is your spot! read more

Don't Do It! Food and service was so terrible that it was almost comical. Scrambled eggs were two eggs over easy chopped up after cooking and placed on three slices of cheese fresh from the freeze. Fish and shrimp plate had to be returned after one bite. Old grease and horrible smell. read more

Landmark Diner Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The Landmark is under new ownership and the food is inconsistent since the change. I eat here a couple times of month, and noticed that they are short staffed. The servers are frantic as they are coping with this issue, but always pleasant and try to accommodate the customer. My food was fine, and just average at that. Grits were cold, potatoes were cold, but the omelette was fine. I sat at the counter, as I normally do, and could hear loud and angry talking coming from the kitchen. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have heard this coming from the kitchen--it appeared that someone was yelling at the servers/kitchen staff in the kitchen each time I was there. Although I speak some Spanish, I could only understand some of the conversation, and from I could hear, mostly belittling comments that were being shouted/spoken loudly. On my most recent visit, I asked my server what the issue was, and she insinuated that the new manager José was harassing one of the male servers as he had refused advances from the manager. This is an egregious way to treat one's employees and I wonder if the new owners are aware of this abuse of power from the manager. I have decided not to eat there anymore due mainly to the treatment of The Landmark's employees. Many servers have quit under this new management due to other managerial issues of rudeness, threats, etc., according to a couple of other servers, and the food and service have suffered. It's too bad that in this day and age managers are sexually or unprofessionally harassing their employees and/or retaliating when their advances are rebuked. I strongly urge the new owners to remediate this issue as everyone suffers: especially the customers. read more

Omg what delicious food!! Service was great even though it was lunch rush!! Price was very reasonable too. We will go again soon!

Always great food and service. Have gone here since 94 till present. Onion soup and breakfast fantastic. read more

Great food and amazing people behind the scenes. Always enough for a take out box. I never leave hungry.

The Landmark used to be my go to restaurant. However, it is under new ownership and my, my, my; how things have changed. I have tried it at least 3 times under the new ownership, and each time I've been disappointed. Gone are the days of the hefty plates of food. I ordered the grilled flounder this past Thursday for lunch, and it looked like they sliced a half of piece of flounder into 3 paper thin slices and grilled it. I had spinach with it. Looks like I got about 3 tablespoons of spinach. They did bring us bread without asking this time, but we did have to ask for butter. The salad is no more than a bunch of lettuce with a few sliced cherry tomatoes on top. If you want anything else in the salad, there is an upcharge. I got a brownie for dessert, take out. It was good as always, even though half of it was placed in the box flat while the other half was tossed. I definitely miss the old Landmark Restaurant. Basically, the new one leaves a lot to be desired. read more

We Are new to Charlotte and just tried the Landmark Diner. Service is friendly and the food is great! We had breakfast both times we have been there - love the omelettes and the biscuits! Prices are very reasonable. We are looking forward to having lunch next time. read more

The Aesthetic: Casual, family-friendly diner with all day breakfast, comfort food, and an enticing dessert display. The waiter we had was phenomenal and funny. The Price: It's a massive amount of food for the price, I got brunch and dinner out of my meal. It's a great value! The Parking: There is plenty of parking at the back of the restaurant, we haven't had any trouble. My Order: The Northern omelette with corned beef and side of cheesy grits was insane. I couldn't believe the amount of grits surpassed the size of my omelet! I've also tried the pancakes, and they weren't my favorite, but I knew I had to give this place another shot. I wish I had room for the desserts every time, they look so good! One day. The Conclusion: This is a solid brunch spot in the city, and the value is great, don't sleep on this diner! read more

We have been coming to Landmark monthly for 5 years-mostly for breakfast and lunch and they continue to deliver great service and great food. Exactly what you expect -breakfast favorites and great sandwiches along with hot lunch daily specials. Fabulous baked goods -perfect to take home later and indulge. They have large booths to accommodate family or friends. Best of all its a 97.5 health code rating and that is rare around Charlotte. Obviously well-loved by locals -So highly recommend if you are looking for something homey and those tried and true diner menu items and a hot endless pot of coffee. read more

Fantastic food, great prices, huge portions, and best of all our server Miss Love. Not only did she go above and beyond and made the dinner so special, but we left feeling so loved and welcomed by her. She definitely touched our hearts last night with her kindness for our family dinner. We will be back. Highly suggest seeing her when she works on Thursday, Fridays, or Saturdays. We had such a wonderful time here and have been here a few times, but last night was our favorite. read more

This is a great diner to go to. The highlight was the homemade desserts. We had the lemon cake and it was so delicious and fresh you can taste that this was made by hand. The French toast is delicious and thick. I can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

The breakfast was horrible. Yes I should have said something when my food came out. The food was cold. The home fries were big chunks of potatoes .They had no taste. No onions or peppers added. They were burnt. My smoke sausage was cooked the way i asked. It was cold. The only thing good was the girts. My toast was hard and cold. My eggs were ok. This breakfast was just a no go for me. Will I return absolutely not. I were going to say something when the check came. My friend was like no don't say anything. We just won't return back. So to avoid me saying anything I just left out and went to the car. LANDMARK. IS A LANDMARK FOR ME NOT TO STOP AT THIS PLACE AGAIN FOR COLD BREAKFAST. read more

Excellent food! Service was exquisite- our server Randy was skilled, knowledgeable and helpful! Great advice on the specials! Definitely coming back!!! read more

I've been going to this restaurant over 30 years. In the past, I would've given it an easy 5, but lately, they have definitely fallen off. Recently, I got the Chicken and Broccoli with a side of Brussel Sprouts. It was bland, the entire meal, until I had to recook it myself and add seasoning and spices. Yesterday I got a take out meal which included a side order of macaroni and cheese. I fed the entire side to my dogs. It looked like they were at the end of the pan and just scraped around the sides and put it in a container. Talking about disappointed. I really couldn't believe it. There was no fixing it. I just gave the entire dish to my dogs. From now on, if I'm not eating there in the restaurant, I'll pass. read more

We showed up tired and hungry after the parade Uptown and nobody knew what they wanted. The Landmark has something for everyone. We were seated right away but it took awhile for our very busy waitress to get to us - she apologized at least 5 times. No worries, we were happy to sit and chill for a bit. My turkey plate was the exact meal you want and expect from a diner - hot, tons of turkey and a great stuffing. The burger was good and the Philly cheesesteak was actually really good. One of the few true diners left in the area! read more

I've been to Landmark once years ago and decided to visit again after visiting a nearby thrift store. We went around 1pm for lunch and had to wait for about 10 minutes for a table. This place is popular! Our waitress was so sweet and helpful, we enjoyed her so much. She brought out our food super quick too! The cornbread was so good! It is yellow and sweet and served with butter. It could be your dessert. I think it might have been my favorite part of the meal! The baked turkey and dressing was really good too, but it was made with that same sweet cornbread, so if you are expecting a typical Southern cornbread dressing, you may be disappointed. Gravy was very flavorful and the turkey was plentiful and baked perfectly. The fish and chips were good, but the fish was lacking a little seasoning. It was basic and a huge portion. My daughter reported the fries as being really good. The green beans and the fried squash were ok, but just ok. Nothing special. The green beans could have used some seasoning and the squash was cut too thick, but it was tasty. We'd heard that the desserts were the draw at Landmark, so we had to order them, even if we only took a bite and took the rest home. Turns out we really could have skipped them. They were both very bland and basic. I had baklava and my daughter had the eclair. We'd both had much better versions elsewhere. So why 4 stars? Portions are huge, food was good and the waitress was fantastic. Service matters. read more

We stopped in last night at 9:25. When we were finally acknowledged by the two employees chatting at the check out counter. One looked at the other and said "we do take anyone after 9:30 do we?" The other person just nodded. We asked if we could just have dessert and coffee and they acted like they did speak our language. We left to find another place with more respect for others. read more

First time going to Landmark in years. Came in from South Carolina to meet up with family that wanted to go there. The first waitress finally came to the table to take drink order, in process of getting drink order she was walking off with out finishing the order. She brought a few drinks to the table and proceeded to ask me what my drink order was. I specifically stated for the second time, sweet tea no lemon. She went to get my tea, grab a lemon with her bare fingers and brought it to me. I had to give her my order a third time. I then asked her " do you guys always grab the lemon with your bare hands" she said, " yes some of us do". I was like yeah no thats a red flag and a no for me. She needs to be pulled in for extra training and spoken to about that. read more
